State prosecutor Greg Wolmarans presented evidence taken from one of Kilian's cellphones, which showed Kilian shared information about Booth with a contact saved as "Nafiz3".
Evidence presented in court on Wednesday showed Kilian shared Booth's location with another unknown contact one day before Booth's attempted murder in July 2020.
Screenshots of other messages and photographs related to Booth were also retrieved from Kilian's phone.
The trial continues on Thursday.
